Soft skin

Your skin is soft and flexible,

your face and body talk without words

every moment a new adventure

every feeling a new experience

Oh sweet child you feel so fully!

In your world there is always enough time and a spring ever-flowing with questions;

Your eyes see only with love.

Your restlessness due to not enough expansion.

How you strive for the impossible,

find  extra in the ordinary...

All fears all inadequacies are overcome and followed with squeals of laughter or celebrated with a gentle sigh and a hug.

I am old and hardened from self betrayal

Mundane autonomy 

no feelings shown unless it's something extraordinary. Yet I have lost sight of what this means.

Immobilised from the risk of loss

silenced

I long to find the child within.

Do we ever doubt why we all need to be more like children and why the heart should be the standard always. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
